I have several cars on my mental list of "wannas." 1957-1961 Studebaker Silver Hawk, 1967 Cadillac 2dr hardtop or convert, 1959 Elky, 67-72 Suburban 3-door and a buncha others that flit in and out of my mind.
But for something that might fit your needs, how about a 94-96 Impala SS? Yeah, they're fodos (4 doors) but they have an LT1 350 and suspension that's very close to the 9C1 police package. They're pretty fast for a big fodo, and can be tweaked pretty easily with some suspension mods, a little work on the intake (like a K&N system) and exhaust and a performance chip. It's definitely a sleeper...especially if ya were to paint it white (although that's my least favorite car color) to get away from the 3 factory colors, black, dark cherry and dark gray green (looks better than it sounds.) Maybe a nice pearl white would work.
